Ebola one of the plagues of tribulation ?

 
I believe if Ebola continues to spread as a Pandemic of serious numbers (millions), especially in the US, it'll be a catalyst for panic driven hysteria, hurting the economy and possibly collapsing the markets near 2008 levels.
 
It will also be an Alinskyesque opportunity.

In that scenario, the magnitude of economic collapse - and order to the life as we know it - will be most likely something we've yet to see. Incomparable.


Just consider this alone....when is a government such as the USA/Canada close down daycares and schools in its attempt to stop the spread? It surely will be one of the first steps to be taken since children will be the most effective spreader for this disease. But that very simple sensible step comes with a high price.

Consider how it will affect businesses if parents are forced to stay home with their children. Work force will be drastically cut.
A lot of households are run by single parents, and a lot of households are forced to survive on two incomes.
There'll be a domino effect. And yes, there'll be wide-spread panic.

How many will hoard food and other supplies to try to isolate themselves from the world? How long will food production keep up with the demand? And if shelves are empty? What happens next?

Fear, frustration and anger can manifest itself in many ways. In Africa, apparently aid-workers are in more danger for getting physically attacked by the people.

Just after that second nurse in Dallas headlined today to have come down with Ebola the markets dropped another 400 more pts. It don't look good financially.
 
They have already warned the usa---millions--WILL die from Ebola in the Usa.---it will be worldwide.
It is such a shame--the teachers of darkness didn't teach this important daily activity--John 4:22-24---
 
Dude... this ****ing guy in the youtube video refers to himself as the Third Eagle of the Apocalypse or something.

He's nuttier than Nutella.
 
I wouldn't have used those words, but the Third Eagle of the Apocalypse--or whatever--is, hmmm, disturbingly grandiose.

He's like the older New Yorker cartoons of the old straggly-haired street corner prophet carrying a "The End Is Near" sign.
 
We'll just nuke Texas before that happens.



I believe something about "All the green grass was burned up..." or the likes...

do you think he could be convinced to go over to Africa and do some Ebola healing by the laying on of hands?

If you have a mind to think this way you might find a biblical reason for all health crises. How about Type II diabetes being God's judgement on those who commit the sin of gluttony? Obesity and its related health problems the judgement for sloth?

Strikes me that people such as the guy in the video positively glory in the suffering of others. Devout schadenfreude anyone? Hilarious that this guy's merciful god visits death upon an innocent Italian in retribution for the pope allowing an Argentinian woman to receive communion. Will it be very ungodly to titter and smirk in a similar way at the death of William Tapley, when it most certainly occurs? Perhaps that will be the divine wages for his deadly sin of pride.

Tapley doesn't claim to have the gift of healing, or I haven't heard him state so. Off the top of my head I cannot recall any healers in the Catholic tradition after Jesus, though I think that there were in the early church.
